We need change or we are going to fry

The world is going to fry – unless there is change soon.

That is the view of Will Hutton writing in Britain’s “The Observer” on April 21 in a story headed: “Burnour planet or face financial meltdown. Not much of a choice”.

Will Hutton.

He wrote: “There is weakening political will to make national and international targets for carbon reduction stick, no strong business and financial coalition prepared to lead and a weakening groundswell of public opinion prepared to foot the bill.”

All that, Hutton explains, follows international consensus 25 years ago that the world must act to challenge and resolve climate change.

That resolve, Hutton says is “dissolving”.
